movement was impossible. The dog

was taken to his cot The operation
lasted three hours. Stimnlants and
morphine were given to the dog and
man, and both speedily came out Of the.
an8sthetic condition and suffered but
little from the shock.
The dog made frantic efforts, to re-
lease itself, but finally came to the con-
sclusion that all efforts in this direction
was useless and became quiet as a
lamb.
THE ARTIFICIAL CONNECTION
Was continued for two weeks under the
most antiseptic conditions. Both the
dog and man were watched carefully
1T was troublesome for the dog to take
spoon victuals gracefully, but it did the
best it could. An examination of the
the bones showed that union had taken
place after q few days, and when it was
deemed strong enough the dog was Civ
en- some ether, and enough bone was
sawed from the leg to make up what
the patient lacked. The dog was then
taken to a place of its own, where
it was given luxurious bed, and the
flesh was drawn over the stnmp of bone
so as to. give the animal as much leg as
possible.
The patients leg was then set. The
new growth Of bone was firm, and was
pressed against the bone in the leg,
bandaged and then done up in the plas-
ter-cast again with the little window
cut in it. Grave doubts were express
ed by many surgeons that union would
take place, but it did, and in an unus-
ually short space OF time. The wound
in the leg that had been so long ulcer
ated healed rapidly, and at the end of a
month there was only a scar left. The
patient was then able to walk around
the ward on crutches, stepping lightly
on the foot of the bad leg. Last week
the plaster was removed from the leg.
The muscles, of course, were stiff from
inactivity, but the leg was as sound as
the often mentioned dollar. The leg is
about half an inch short, but it is be-
lieved that exercise will rene dy this
defect The patient walks with crutch-
es yet, but the leg is getting stronger
and better every day, and will soon be
well. The dog that lost its leg to save
a life is we'll, and can be seen any day
running around the hospital stable 1t
shows Il great fondness for Scanlon,
which is reciprocated with will. Maybe
the canine does not know how much
good he has done, but he acts as if he
thought the world owed him good liv-
ing.

nectioD with the Wil]mar s. Sioux
Falls road, and thus afford US more
direct route to Duluth on the one hand
and Yankt0n on the other. The Gran.

This time next year Granite Falls

with Duluth via the Willn,ar & Sioux

PAUL. The Manitaba company now
has line from st. Cloud to Hinckly,
on the line of the st. Paul & Duluth

making u survey for a line from that
point to Duluth, the road to te called
the Lake Superior Il Southwestern.
The line will be completed early in the
spring, so that by the time the Will
mar Il Sioux Falls road is in operation
there will he i direct and through line

predict that i year later it will he over

Minnesota North rn Railway, an out
line of which project We gave in last
weeks ADVANCE. Naturally enough,
the project has created a stir. and We
have been piled with questions all the
week as to whether or not the road
will be built. Our uniform reply is
that the men who are backing this
project have enough money to make q
preliminary survey, secure the right Of
way. and start the grading, aud If the
people along the proposed line take
hold of the matter in earnest, the road
can be graded. The Manitoba would
then be glad to iron and operate it rs a
part of their system. In fact the Man.

try now. just as the Chicago systems

"PRODUCDR" REPLIES TO O"iNON-
PRODUCER" 49,
EDITOR ADvANcE:-In your last is
sue appears an article by one who signs
himself Non. Producer" in which he
threatens dire vengeance against the
farmers who attempt to form an Al
lance for the purpose Of disposing Of
their products and protecting them
selves against the middle men.
Such absurd articles could only orig.
mate in the diminutive intellect OF a
demented egotist, such ss he. 1t was
not necessary that he should sign him
self "Non-Producer." That fact is
too clearly shown in his article. 1t is
not his fault that nature did not fur
nish him with enough brains to drive
geese to water. only his misfortune.
Still, he need not have advertised
that fact. AS long as he kept still he
might be mistaken for man, but as
soon ~ he opens his mouth the ass is
recognized.
He says, lit has been proved time
and again that combinations among
farmers are Ill impossib,lity," because
they have not the brains nor education
to maintain such combinations, and
that they only make matters worse for
themselves. At the same time he
threatens them with the lash of super.
ior combinations if they do not stop
interfering with the profits of the mid
die men, and take their proper places
again, i. O., as willing slaves of the
non producer.
| Cooperative associations among far.
mers have failed in some places, not
from any lack of brains to manage
them, but because the farmers have
enough to do to properly manage their
farms, and have not the time tO give to
outside matters. AS a rule. farmers
are generous, easy going lot of men,
willing to share the profits of their
business with the middle men, as long
rs they are satisfied with /, fair profit.
1t is only when the grasping middle
men demand all OF the profit that the
farmers are driven, in seIf-defence, to
organize for their mutual protection.
There is no business in this country
that receives u fraction of the time
and study that that of farming does,
and yet "NOn-Producer" thinks that
none but d"lts and clod-hoppers are
farmers. Had lie been an intelligent
being he would have known better.

aged, is not only of great value to the
farmers themselves. but is beneficial to
the country. as whatever adds to the

TUE MINNESOTA NORTHERN

TUE MINNESOTA NORTHERN.
TIE Currie Minnesotian, speaking of
the north and south road, a full ac-
count of which was given in our last
issue, says:
The work is now begun and begun in
earnest, and it only needs the active
support of those interested along the
proposed line to make it an assured
success. There never was Il better op.
portunity to lay a paying line of road
than at present north and south thro'
the western part of Minnesota. It is
needed to connect local points and the
many lines of rail now running east
and west through the state, and all
these western Minnesota towns want
lumber from the fine hard wood and
pine regions Of the north and coal
from the coal mines of central Iowa. A
road to each Of these coal and lumber
regions would have heavy freights
each way, have good local passenger
trathc. and control large number of
summer tourists, and through passen.
gers travelling to Manitoba and NORTH
ern Pacific points, the route from the
south being so much shorter than by
st. Paul.
Engineer Ben Woo)stencroft and his
crew of surveyors began work Friday
on Capt. Aldrich's place at the lake

ton. The Currie depot will be either
east of the mill on the south side of
the river, or at the crossing between
the Methodist and Catholic churches.
according rs the route east or west of
the village is found to be the most
feasible. As soon AS the preliminary
survey is completed arrangements will
be made for right of way, and grading
can begin as soon rs frost is out of the
ground in the spring.
In another article the Minnesot,an
says:
We hope to be able in few weeks to
give Our readers the positive assurance
that the cars will be running from
WOrthington through Fulda and
Avoca to this place before August. If
this fine open weather continues 80 the
survey and right of way work will not
be delayed, the road vii. be ready for

well able to do. A road north and
south through the western part of this
state will be a paying movement and
will bring all the junction points into
prominence, connecting the great hard
wood and pine belts of the north with
the coal fields of the south. 1t would
have heavy freight both ways. and its
passenger trains will control the travel
to Manitoba and Northern Pacific
points. the distance being 80 much
